SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing 2025

Discover advances in sensors, infrared technology, laser systems, spectral imaging, radar, LIDAR, AI/machine learning, and more. Hear from experts working on materials, components, systems, and analytics for defense, security, and commercial applications.

In addition to four conference tracks this year’s conference features four special application tracks to explore:

• Sustainability: presentations that showcase the use of optics and photonics for renewable energy, natural resource management, sustainable and green manufacturing, and greenhouse gas mitigation in support of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
• AI/ML: presentations that feature highlight the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning to create and implement intelligent systems across multiple sectors, technologies, and applications.
• Microelectronics: presentations that highlight advances in materials, design, fabrication, integration, and applications of silicon or compound semiconductor microelectronics for use in the security and defense sectors and the commercial marketplace.
• Space: presentations that feature utilization of photonics in space or ground segment components, payloads, platforms, and sensor data exploitation for use in satellite constellations, communications, space situational awareness, and derived information products.

Plus, don’t miss the exhibition, 15 - 17 April: your opportunity to meet with key suppliers as they display their emerging technologies and capability-enhancing features. Find the best sensing solutions, components, instruments, and system providers from around the world.
